    To limit Miyamoto Musashi to one story does him a disservice. The man was truly legendary. One duel he showed up very late so that he could fight such that the sun was low and at his back the whole time, blinding his opponent. Many called him dishonorable for some of the tactics he used, but a true warrior can turn the world around them into a weapon against their opponent.

    Cool. Especially talking about Musashi. But there are some that deserve some credit. Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi, the famous one eyed samurai. Although, there were reports about him having both eyes, but he was still legit.
    Tomoe Gozen. The famed samurai woman who was putting in work during the Heian era during the Genpei War by being both a great archer, and swordsman.
    Yasuke. The black samurai who was a former slave that got off a Portuguese ship, and ended up serving under Oda Nobunaga as a samurai. And he became the first foreign person to become a samurai which will also happen to other foreigners after him.
    Finally, the one eyed dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune. He was as intelligent, as he was skilled, and aggressive. And he was even considered progressive for his time by being open to western knowledge, and technology in a similar way that Nobunaga did.
    Sorry for the long comment. Liked the video, and I would also like to check out the Shogunate channel, as well. It seems interesting to learn from.

      There is also William Adams also became a Samurai too in 1600. He was an English sailor from Kent, learned how to become a navigator, sailed with the Dutch to Japan and then he served Tokugawa Ieyasu till he died. The guy became part of his inner circle primarily because of his knowledge of astrology, shipbuilding, navigation and other maritime tid-bits. He was crucial to the new Shogun's navy. In fact the miniseries Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune, is based on this man.

    You're missing the part where Musashi also stood with his back facing the sun so as to disguise the length of his blade whilst he raised it above his head. With all the sunlight bleeding, it was impossible to tell that he also had a Odachi so Sasaki thought it was a regular Katana.

    It Yoshitsune's time was an interesting one. At that time, they had not standardized the suicide ritual of seppukku and were still figuring the whole thing out. The worse part about researching seppukku was that they can't exchange notes when the ritual went extremely well.

    The story about Kusunoki Masashige actually contains a true legend itself.
    Masashige daughter in law was Iga No tsubone.
    As you said, Masashige suggested to Go-daigo to retreat but the emperor decided to fight and follow the plan of a man called Fujiwara no Kyokata.
    then Minatogawa battle happened, everyone did seppuku and it was the end as you said, Kyokata too was forced to commit seppuku because he got the blame for the faliure
    When the imperial court went to Yoshino to escape everyone, the young daughter Iga no Tsubone started seeing a ghost.
    this ghost was Kyokata who felt a huge anger towards the imperial court.
    Iga no tsubone already proved her great strenght by using a tree to help the empress bypass a river to Yoshino, and now she stared directly at the ghost and shouted to him TO GO AWAY and the ghost did so.
    this story has a very cool series of Ukiyo-e prints, featuring in 100 aspects of the moon by Yoshitoshi

    What I knew about Musashi and Kojiro's duel was that Musashi overslept, forgot his sword, and just took whatever he had nearby. Kojiro was furious, yes, so he went full bananas and attacked Musashi. He missed his attack because Musashi panicked a bit and Musashi's wooden oar hit Kojiro's head. It was a duel ended in a single strike because Musashi panicked and happen to swing his oar to the right direction. But I doubt that was the case. I'm sure Musashi just want to make Kojiro pissed so that he'd be easily defeated.

    A relative of mine also came from every battlefield without a scratch and I managed to get cut by a Katana in Europe... Sigh.
    This relative of mine worked in Bosnia, Egypt, Syria and probably every sh!thole of Africa and Latin America.
    Another relative of mine was hit by a bomb in WWII and continued fighting despite multiple shrapnel wounds and as it later turned out, one piece stuck in his brain! Several pieces were inoperable and thus he kept them until he died in his 90s.
    Some people survive the impossible, others just get injured by the impossible...
    Fun fact: I do know a guy injured by a spear and another by a Sabre and that in this timeline without asking for it... The prior was an attack from behind by a British hooligan. The latter was about a girl and someone forced him to duel with real sabres...

      @@Linfamy one brought them and told him to pick one up, or he'll cut him down. It was essentially attempted murder with extra steps. There was a considerable disparity in fencing skill. If he'd just come with one blade and killed him, he'd be arrested for murder, but if both duel and one dies, it's at best manslaughter...

    Honda Tadakatsu died by his own hand. After a little over 100 battles, he never got a scratch, never bled. No one made him bleed. Heihachiro (his courtesy name) actually lived to retire and see old age. IIRC, when he was 60-70, he was chopping wood or doing some kind of woodwork and scratches himself. So the first time he sees his own blood shed, he sees it as time to die and offs himself.

    Mushashi is far more of a figure than you give him credit for.
    In example... every single train station in japan is named after geographical fratures, whether its a mountain, town, or a forest. No emperor, shogun, or samurai have the honor of having a train station named after them... tho trains are the lifeblood of japan.
    Except... Miyomoto Mushashi... the Mushashi train station in Miyomoto... epic honor.
    He defeated kojiro, the demon swordsman of the west, with the oar. According the the Mushashi Museum, Kojiro was not able to guage the length of the oar, and thus, received a blow that defeated him immedietly when attempting to strike.
    Also remember that Mushasi commented to Kojiro that Kojiro had already lost the fight, upon seeing Kojiro unsheath his katana and throughing the scabbard in the ocean... pointing out Kojiro the winner of a duel would never throw his scabbard away, for he would need it after he won the fight to re-sheath the sword. I figure this was just an insult of the time, but it set off Kojiro.
    There is a statue at the duel site now commemorating this final duel of Mushashi's.
